My husband and I live in rural France, not much going on.  Husband decided to take the dogs out for their walk earlier.  As soon as the door closed, I heard a bang.  He came belting back in, face pure white.  He asked if I heard a bang and said yes.  It was a gunshot, the chasse (hunters) were in the field next to us chasing a sanglier (wild boar), which was headed straight for our land.  He was terrified and refused to take the dogs out, he said the worst of it was they would all be half drunk cos they start on the Pastis at 8 in the morning.  It was hilarious, never seen him so scared, told him to put in his hi-viz jacket and he would be fine - won't tell you his comments.
